Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.

Weirdest compliment ever received last night (startrek.website)

So, last night I had to attend a wake. I don't know if it's only a European thing, my sisters overseas might have to google that one up just in case, but yeah, it was odd. At some point one of my best friends waltzed in with this HUGE guy, like 2 meters tall, and his tiny wife went along as well. My good friend apparently told them who I am, and the huge ass guy and his tiny wife immediately went FAN MODE:

Yoooo, your album from 2008 is in our cupboard!

I'm a shy person and being this overwhelmed with fans, that was very strange and scary to me at first. But we had a good run. Just talking about music nonstop.

To me, which I could laugh about, was the fact that I'm doing very, very different music these days, playing a different instrument, just doing my thing and yeah, I had to share phone numbers with them so I can share what I'm doing now.

A really, really weird, but fun night. Music nerds meeting another music nerd... :D

Thank you. It's always been odd to me coping with fans. I struggle with that a lot. Why would anyone be a fan of this very depressed gal on the synth / keys / drums in the first place? ^^

To millions of people around the world, depressed synth/keys/drums is their jam ... just look at Depeche Mode

I'm a bigger fan of poppy, upbeat keys paired with the darkest lyrics imaginable.

Like Nena.

(I used to be able to play the keyboard sting in this on keyboards, accordion, and saxophone. Because it's just so damned infectious.)

Oh damn I know this song. :)

EVERYBODY knows this song. If you go back in time to the 11th century Mayan Empire, everybody will recognize this song. 😂
